“Project Hail Mary” Passes $300M At Box-Office
Phil Lord and Chris Miller’s “Project Hail Mary” has remarkable staying power at the box-office.
The Amazon MGM Studios title is poised to take in an overseas second-weekend haul of $54.1 million, a stunning hold as it only dropped 5% from its launch weekend.
In fact, certain markets like UK, China, Mexico and Brazil saw attendance increases and the title was No. 1 in over 60 markets.
Its gross nearly matches the domestic second weekend of $54.5 million, bringing the worldwide second weekend take to $108.6 million with $20.3 million of that from IMAX screens alone.
That brings the movie up to a running total of $300.8 million after ten days, with around 20% coming from IMAX screens.
The number makes it not only the top-grossing Amazon MGM Studios post-merger, beating “Creed III” with $276 million, but also the top-grossing Hollywood film of the year to date.
Disney’s “Hoppers” isn’t far behind total-wise. The earlier opening animated feature now has a running worldwide total of $297.6 mnillion, with $37 million of that coming this weekend.
